Volunteer translators needed for Vector rollout


Hi all!

In advance of the Vector rollout to the remaining top ten languages,
the UX team can use some help translating some pages from the English
Wikipedia; including central notice, a local PR page, and not least, a
local feedback page.

Languages still needing at least some work are: German, French,
Japanese, Dutch, Polish, Russian, Portuguese, and Spanish.  Thanks to
Marco 27 for the work he put in on the Italian Wiki.

The central coordination page is located here, on the Usability wiki:

<http://usability.wikimedia.org/wiki/Releases/Default_Switch>

One thing I beg you to remember, is that translating these pages does
not necessarily imply endorsement with the Vector switch!  One comment
I received on IRC when I asked about it was: "But I don't like Vector,
I'm switching right back to Monobook when it rolls over".  Well, we
understand and appreciate that--and even more reason to help out with
putting a feedback page on your wiki, and permitting people who don't
read or write English (or Italian :) ) to be able to provide their own
comments about the Vector rollout.

Thanks in advance for all your help!
